Tofu or food? Aka Hen or Roo?

[ChickenMath10to17]

I have posted ToFu before, we couldnt decided.
To me I was confident she was a she.
2 weeks ago the pea comb reddened. And she started getting mean to me (coming up to peck me, only my roo does this)

She is small so I suspect the age is off and she/he now 10 weeks ish.

The feather came in, the look pointy to me. Maybe I am wrong. She/he was fuzzy necked 2 weeks ago.

Peacombs confuse me to tell gender.

She is a backyard mix.

Thank you

@3KillerBs would you mind helping me with this one as well? Or should I just be waiting for the end of October and hope feathering is more obvious to me for ALL my birds.

How old and can you get side/tail photos please?

Between 10 and 14 weeks. I got him/her as a sick chick (eye infection) from an overcrowded barn

I *think* she’s a pullet. The saddle feathers don’t seem pointy enough to be a cockerel. She’s super cute! She has a sweet little face.

She hates me then, loves my daughters though.
Hubby was saying that some breeds have fancy neck pattern feathers so that isn't a default male thing. So I just learned something.

Yes, quite a few breeds do have neck patterns. Has she molted her tail feathers by chance? Her tail seems a bit stumpy. Might just be how she looks though.

I’d post another picture of her in a few weeks. I think you should wait for some more opinions on her sex.

All of mine are struggling with tail growth!
I see some 12 weeks chickens with beatiful tails on here!

The chick feed and then the layer flock feed pellets
